'Obviously, from the interpreter of these pieces - of all the pieces on this CD - one expects skill and sensitivity. But there must be still more: a gift for colour; an ability to imagine decors; a vision of textures, of space. And also, for these pieces that are at once heir to and summing-up of a glorious tradition, a wide-ranging knowledge, a culture of the piano repertoire. The interpreter of the Études is situated at the finishing line of a marathon, that of the keyboard 'en blanc et noir'. He or she must know everything, and play nearly everything. Nelson Goerner is one such pianist.' Dominique Jameux
"In the first book of Images, Nelson Goerner responds infallibly to the composer's demands. His technically secure playing displays a real feeling for the pieces' ever-changing colours and for the logic leading one phrase into another, his tiny rhythmic adjustments never disrupting the flow. Had the rest of the disc been of this standard, it would have been a really special recording." (BBC Music)
"Everything he touches, on disc at least, seems simply 'right'...You could hardly wish for this to be more musically and effectively conveyed." (Gramophone)
